Need some quick Mexican grub to go, or want a quick lunch ? This is your spot. They've got beer too, you can't go wrong with a burrito from Illegal Pete's. They run 4SQ specials too!
Get the reverse nachos ! Bowl filled with whatever you want (rice , beans, veggies ) & smothered in queso , topped with any salsas , cheese , jalapeños & sour cream you want. Chips are served on the side.
Get the small breakfast bowl . It's like 3 bucks if you work downtown and is deceptively almost as big as the standard bowl. Bacon , chorizo , green chile . Best bfast value in town .
Have tried the fish tacos , carnitas quesadilla and the carnitas nachos . All were yummy! Good eats that don't take a chunk from your wallet.
Here is the best thing you can get. Not on the menu . Chicken burrito bowl w/ black beans , smother it with veggie chili , cheese on top, then 2 scoops of corn , finished with lightly sprinkle of onions .
Children's burrito . Chicken , brown rice , black beans , fajita veggies green and red, pico , guac , pesto , olives , onions . Smothered in pork chili . Plus a Coors Light. $10.
Check out our new happy hour ! Every night 3-8pm come in for: $2.50 Coors & Coors Light, $3.50 select craft drafts , $4 margaritas & $3 wells ...And, as always, free chips & salsa if you're drinkin'!
Best burrito you'll ever have. Take that to the bank . They even mix the burrito ingredients so you'll never get that mouth full of sour cream again!
Chicken Buritto Bowl was awesome! If you’re going to a concert or a game bring in your ticket stub for a free beer !
They're Colorado local and it's quick, good Mexican. The line proves their popularity. My favorite is their burrito bowl with brown rice and all the toppings you desire.
This is a great place, ask for Jen. She basically makes my food for free and I don't even pay her. It's awesome to never have a grasp of responsibility!
Sure, Chipotle started here and QDobas are everywhere...but this local shop is a much better burrito option. Watch as they mix the ingredients at the end, ensuring every bite is awesome!
Okay, look. Pete’s doesn’t serve hooch. So why go? Simple. It’s the best place to hit the morning after bender. One of their burrito bowls smothered in green chili will put you back among the living.
Remember to use your EcoPass if you have one here. You'll save 10% off your meal!
From now until Dec. 3, buy a New Belgium Brewing draft beer and you'll get a FREE 16-oz. globe glass! For each glass given, New Belgium will donate a $1 to the The Edmond J. Safra Family Lodge .
Queso so good you could drink it. Make sure you get chips and queso .
Chicken nachos plus potatoes and all the toppings is the only way to go.
Chicken Quesadilla with red peppers is great. Come early or later because lunch hour lines are out the door.
A million times better than Chipotle. And you can get whole wheat tortillas !
Best fish tacos in town . And they mix your burrito ingredients before folding. Big props.
Fish tacos are great
Best way to order is from the Illegal Pete's app, they have ready for as soon as you walk in! No more waiting!
The portion was a little smaller than a qdoba or a chipotle. Margaritas made me kind of sick. I would skip this place if anyone tells you it's a 'must have'.
The vegetarian green chile is amazing!
For me the kids size is just about perfect. Add chips and a drink and it's about the same price as the big burritos .
Free cookie on your first check-in! Delicious burritos (with guac ) and WONDERFUL margaritas !!!!!
Awesome burritos . Quick service , cheap beers
Burritos are great! Customer service is phenomenal!
Great spot for quick, quality Mexican food .
They do not offer student drinks and sometimes their burritos are a little small so I suggest a burrito bowl if you are super hungry
Fish burritos take a little longer but they are worth the wait
Delicious tacos . Never a seat though
Guac is free if you're getting it instead of dairy
Local Burrito joint. Try getting potatoes or fish in your burrito !
The "Big Fish " (fried fish , beans and rice + whatever), delicious but formidable, comes in a more manageable kids' size.
Solid for a quick bite on Pearl St.
Get the "gambler ". It's not on the menu . Its basically just the addition of spicy mayo but it's super delicious.
Breakfast burritos until 1pm on the weekends!
Big potato : it's sooooooo good.
Careful, if they are running low on chicken and you ask for double, you still get single but pay for double. Awesome.
Salads are great. And everything is mostly organic !
Everything about this place is awesome.
Fish tacos were killer
Burritos are awesome, breakfast and lunch ! Try the hot salsa , very good.
Food & all the things people are talking about.
Nachos forever
Stopped in for some breakfast burritos.. delish!
SplickIt - order + pay from your phone, walk straight up to the counter, take food, leave.
Chicken tacos !
Order the big fish , I promise you won't be disappointed
coin style margs are legit. my new favorite meal is the adobo ckn tacos!! - Ashley Erickson
Always delicious. It often has a long line but it moves fast. - Cynthia Divino
Everything is good here. Be ready to spend some money. Nightlife, all kinds of shopping, entertainment, and all the food. You can easily spend too much time and money here. Be mindful! - Tyler Williams
Nearly perfect theater for live music. Love the tiered design for standing room and a beautiful seated balcony. - Dan Stecker
